They have a cat….. They do not have a dog but desperately want one.  I attempt to try and explain the practicalities of owning a dog, the responsibility for feeding it, walking it in all weathers, grooming it, all the harsh realities that come with owning a dog.  This does not concern them.  They insist…

    You made me cry! Such a beautifully written post you have such a way with words as well as photographs. I have every faith and confidence with you that you will steer your son through the challenges with much grace and skill, he is one lucky boy to have you as his Mum xx Looking forward to catching up in Lisbon later this month.ReplyCancel

    I agree with what the other girls said. You are so good in writing. I am looking forward to your next post. XReplyCancel
